hmm, loaded gun int he waistband...sounds familiar.  I wonder if Delonte knows who Plaxico Burress is.



Hopefully the officer let Delonte pull over on the left hand side, because we all know he cant go right.

In the daytime though it makes no sense to be fearful for your life unless you are making a huge power drug move. If you go out at nightime and are out at the clubs, I can understand not feeling safe and having a gun, although I have never personally felt the need to carry one or own one.     Day time just makes no sense.  Its crazy.

Even if I buy that he was in fear of his life, why would he need 3 guns?  He could only shoot one or two, right? I hope he wasn't going to supply someone else with a gun.

Shocking news. I would be glad to learn what Delonte was intending to do with all these weapons...

That's a good point.  I mean, for protection you "might" legally carry a weapon.  But 3 guns including a shotgun on a motorcycle?  Wow.

You can take the man out of PG County, but you cant take the PG County out of a man.

Regardless of whether the guns were legal or not, this is at best, a very bad sign for the way West is handling himself.  I am sorry, but I can't think of any reason to be carrying 2 handguns and a shotgun, loaded on your motorcycle.
How about you just bought them and were bringing them home.

Well irregardless, what he did is still illegal, registered or not.  In Maryland it's illegal to carry a conceiled weapon or any kind of loaded weapon, doesnt matter if it's registered. Which makes sense since Delonte lives in a county that accounts for almost 25% of Marylands murder rate alone (and remember thats a state that has Baltimore county in it too) He was hiding a shotgun in a guitar case, I'm sure there was still plenty of room in there to remove the bullets from the weapons and leave them in the case.  Maybe he just likes to collect guns like Tank Johnson :)

Not that Im trying to bring the whole F the police thing up.  But this was a traffic stop and the cops said Delonte had no issues and was cooperative, so why did they have to search him?  Ive been pulled over for speeding on a motorcycle and was wearing a thick leather jacket and a backpack, I didnt get searched.....

Hrm, this is very strange.

I wonder if he'll get time or a significant suspension.  Delonte isn't exactly the most important player on the Cavs but this could impact them fairly significantly if he's out for a sizeable portion of the season.

From what the story says, Delonte admitted to having a weapon in his waist band, at which point he was searched.

I don't know, I never really understand blaming the police when they lawfully catch somebody committing a crime.

He is a trainwreck and immature.  Folks on this site praised his stupid you tube video with his cousin where it was obvious he baked.  They said oh its funny.  When you're in the NBA youre a professional so act like one.  Unfortunately Delnte doesn't get it and might not ever get it.

Has anybody checked on Edgar?

Nick had a great point about waiting to get all the facts.

It does seem that West did something quite foolish and that there are some issues there.

Being able to carry three guns while riding a motorcycle is pretty impressive.  Was he trying out to be the next punisher or was he on his way go see Marice Clarette in prison?

He has got a lot more than hot sauce in his bag.

My sister pointed this out to me, remember Delonte's depression earlier? Now speeding around on a motorcycle with a mini arsenal?

He easily could be bi-polar/manic depressive/one of many other illness with these sort of mood swings and behavior. I hope he's still getting the proper counseling and medical care if that is the case.
